"Am I okay?
You shouldn't be asking me that!
You should be asking Pekoms whether he's okay!"
Pedro spoke in a low voice.
His expression practically screamed that he had turned evil.
His blood-red eyes stared straight at Pekoms.

Pekoms jumped in fright under his gaze.
He couldn't help taking a step back.
Zepo looked at Pedro in confusion.
"Pedro, what's wrong with you?
Pekoms is our comrade.
Why are you looking at him like that?"
